Properties
Description
This research tool provides a highly pure (≥95%) coumarin derivative of lactosyl, connected by a 5 kDa polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain for fluorescent imaging of carbohydrate-related phenomena.
Molecular Weight
PEG 5 kDa
Source
Chemical synthesis
Solubility
Comarin-PEG-lactosyl is soluble in a wide range of organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, and DMSO, and shows excellent solubility in water.
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
Coumarin conjugated to lactosyl with a 5 kDa PEG spacer can be employed as a pH-sensitive fluorescent probe to study the local pH changes upon carbohydrate-receptor interaction.
